UNSPSC 50344629: Frozen long gray melons

The variety of melons known as long gray melons that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344629 Frozen long gray melons is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its narrow product scope. The source contains sixteen recent solicitations tagged to this code, but none request frozen long gray melons or products matching the code's specific name; instead, the opportunities solicit broad food service groceries, fresh produce, frozen vegetables and specialty foods, institutional meal components, and school nutrition supplies across multiple product categories and vendors. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns means this code does not currently represent a useful market signal for business development targeting frozen melon suppliers.

State and local buyers soliciting under this code designation include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple institutional food service contracts for state hospitals and supported living centers), school districts (Hancock County in Georgia, Early County in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Head Start of Greater Dallas), county governments (Gwinnett County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida), the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the New Jersey Department of Human Services. Recent opportunities span Texas (eight IFBs for state facilities), Georgia (three school and county bids), Florida (one regional park food services ITN), Connecticut (one school nutrition IFB), Oregon (one frozen-fruit procurement), and New Jersey (one frozen-vegetable rebid). Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017338V1 (frozen food products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, approximately $9 million estimated annual volume, bids due August 18, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, and melons (bids due June 26, 2026), and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid covering 300+ items with bids due June 8, 2026. The code shows activity but tracks commodity bundling and institutional procurement rather than a discrete frozen-melon supply market.
